Paper craft project no. 300: Joyful wishes one layer card

Hello! Popping by today with a one layer card for the current challenge at Time Out Challenges, where it’s a Home Sweet Home Photo Inspiration challenge. We hope you can play with us…you have a week more to share your projects! Here’s the photo:

I was inspired by the wooden floor and crate so I mimicked those by scoring (embossing) the lower portion of my card base and then swiping various Distress inks (vintage photo, brushed corduroy, walnut stain) over it. Next, I stamped the gift image and colored with Chameleon Color Tones alcohol markers. I then masked it before stamping the holiday words in VersaMagic chalk ink (aegean blue). And the card is done :o)

PS: There’s a design team call for a new challenge that starts on January 6. If you enjoy making one layer cards and Christmas cards, please check it out here. Please feel free to pass the info along to anyone you think would be interested :o)

What a fun idea to have the sentiments behind the image, excellent idea! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us this week at Addicted to Stamps and More! We sure hope we will see you around again soon :)

Amazing design Shery. I love your one layer cards that look multi-layered! This is a fabulous interpretation of the photo … the wood looks real!! And the parcel and ornaments in the bright colours really pop! Loll xx

Fabulous design, Shery! Love the panelled base and your amazing colouring. I got my stamps the other day and am going to have a play this weekend – they look great. I will definitely borrow your idea of using the words in the background :)
